Benjamin Netanyahu: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

In addition to his questionable treatment of Palestinians, Netanyahu has also faced numerous accusations of political corruption on charges of fraud, bribery, and breach of trust, which Netanyahu himself has denied. Despite this, the Israeli attorney general announced his intention to file indictments against Netanyahu on bribe and fraud charges in three different cases in February 2019. This would make Netanyahu the first sitting Prime Minister in Israeli history to be indicted on criminal charges. On 21 November 2019, he was indicted on charges of breach of trust, bribery and fraud. Due to the indictment, Netanyahu is legally required to relinquish all of his ministry posts other than the prime minister position. Netanyahu is also being accused by various opposition parties and international critics of the Israeli government of conspiring war against Iran for the purpose of maintaining ongoing power.
